scathing terms of the course pursued in Con-
gress by Gems. Bragg and Warner.
Edward L. COvel, Co. G, sd ". Y, North
Swansea. Mass, thinks the Examining Boards
do great injustice to many Of the soldiers who
are applicants for pensions, or who do not receive
as much as they are entitled to. He thinks it is
the purpose of the Boards to cut all pensioners
down to the lowest possible figure, which he
believes is not in harmony with the spirit of
liberality toward the veterans which ought 10
control such matters.
A. B. Johnston, LIST Cal. Cav, Wadesburg,
Mo-, says that while he feels that the bonds of
the United States Government should be paid
according to the letter Of the contract, at the
same time believes that the soldiers should be
paid with equally scrupulOus justice.
Ed. Parker, Co. G., 9th Kan. Cav, Union, Iowa,
sarcastcaly says that be is in favor of cutting off
all pensions and using thesurplus money to buy
/ up the rebel bonds. He says: =" Just think what
a superb banking business could be built up in
connection with the one we already have by our
Government that way, and how the festive poll

chains they have already forged for Us GAR.

Random shots.

Henry Shoenberger Bozemau, Mont, won
ders why it is when the rest of the boys are
planting their flags and "getting there" first,
the old Fifth Corps does not make itself heard.
He hopes some of the boys will turn themselves
loose, particularly the old Reserve Division, that
was commanded by Meade and Crawford.
K. NJ. Osborn, Kane, ILL.,, says THE NATIONAL
/ TRIBUNE surpasses all other papers in adv0cat-
ing the cause Of the soldiers, and all should
support it. Its pure principles of Fraternity,
Charity and Loyalty commend it to all classes
Of people.
w. ii. Powell, Belleville, H., says it is fortu-

Moving on Richmond.

Edwin T.. Ravens, Co. G, 18th N. j., Eaton
town, Y. j., says he was not more than six feet
from Gen. Sedgwiek when the latte was killed

Alfred G.. Blanchard, Co. E, 11Sth n. Y,

eral comrades, that the 60th N. Y. was the first
regiment to enter Atlanta with its colOrs. He
says some other bodies of troops were in adj
vance of the Goth, but they had no colors, and
the nag of his regiment was the first to float
within the captured city.

mistaken in saying that the 1i3d Pa. was first
in the fight at Gettysburg. The writer says the
10th n. Y. led the First Corps that day, and
opened the engagement by firing the first guns
at the rebels.

ABB Piles, Co. G., 1st III. Cav, and Co. B,
SD ILL.,, La Grand. Ore, thinks that none of
the explanations of the origin of the expression
"Grab a root" heretofore pablshed are correct.
The writer heard it as far back as September
1861, but how it originated he cannot tell. He
thinks some of Col. Mulligan's boys, who were
in the battle of Lexington, Mo-, can bring the
"root" to focus.
]. PeIsor, Co. ID, 10th III. Cav, Great Bend
Kan, says he heard the cry "Grab q root" as
early as October 1861, in Camp Butler, Spring
field, Ill. He says he heard it in every regi-
ment he saw from that time to the end of the
war.

Llauor Dealers contest.

The test case of the Liquor Dealers Association was brought into the courts to-day by the arrest of Robert Conneli, on a warrant sworn out by Sheriff Mulyenon, on three separate charges of violation of the new license law. Mir. Connell was taken before Judge W. H. McGrew, where a con tinuanee of the case was had until to. morrow, at 10 o'clock. LC. Herndou, district attorney of thIs county, rep resents the prosecution in the case, while the liquor dealers will be repre- sented by the law firm of Rush, Wells < Howard. This case promises to be one of unusual interest to this Terri tory, belng the first one brought to test the validity of laws passed by the 14th legislative assembly. MT. Connell refused payment of his license to bring the matter into court, and is backed by the hqusr dealers all over the Ter ritory y.---JoIrnal-Miner.

The Inrenter Of Salt Horrinr.

Buckets was a Zealand fisherman, and his discovery was simply this: That salt fish wilt keep and that fish that can be kept, can be packed and exported Before his time herrings had to be con. stunned within few days of their cap ture. Buckels salted them. 1t does not sound like great discovery. One rather wonders that the system had not been applied from the beginning. How ever, in 13S6 William Buckels salted the first 100 of herring5, and, having salted them, he packed them in barrels, This exercise of common sense resulted in 6 singular development of the resources Of the country.
 The English fisheries were not SO prominent J00 years ago as they arc. now, and Holland had for time al- most a monopoly of a market which she was able to create and supply. Buckels had to wait 300 years to have his claim to public gratitude recognized. Charles V. had statue erected to the herring salter, who became the benefactor of his country. Queen Mary oi Hungary, however paid him even greater honor. During her residence in Holland she dis. covered his tomb, and, seated upon it, ate salted herring. Pail Mall Ga gafts-

Gen. Winfield Scott when young man, was stationed at Fort Smelling at that day perhaps the remotest military outpost in the country. When the Black Hawk war wils begun some eIllinoismilitia companies pioffered their services Two lieutenants were sent by Scott to Dixon, Ills, to muster the new soldiers One of the iieutenants was very fascinating young man, of easy manners, and affa- ble disposition; tho other was equally pleasant but extremely modest. On the morning when the muster was 10 take place, tall, gawky, slab-sided, homeiy young man, dressed in suit of blue jeans, presented himself to the lieuten
 ants as the captain of the recruits, and was duly sworn in. The honaelY young man was Abraham Lincoln. The bash full lieutenant was he who afterward fired the first gun from Fort sumter, Mai.

 Triiles makes the world over every fifty years. We are living to-day with almost nothing that was famil. far when we were young. I do not wonder old people talk of the good old tunes. To be sure, they would not enjoy them now; but they are pleasant to remember for then we knew no better ways. Who would like to forget how he sat in the chim- hey corner, and looked at the crack ling fire oflogs, and listened to grand father reading the story of Samson or Jonah? Bless me, we no longer even believe those good old storses. All is changed, and one can never, as the poet wishes, go back to the gates of childhood again. No, it is not the reapers, and the steambOats, and the telsgraphs that turn up topsy- turvey, but the little affairs of the household. What, above all, do you mss nowadays? l asked of old Father Euenwood. We'll, he said, it's the old kitchen, with its strings of dried apples, punches of herbs, smoked hams and dried beef-that's what l miss. If Heavens like that, I'd like to be of.

Unless the experimenter has been in the habit of counting for this object, he will he surprised to learn that, in most of the eastern cities, fully 30 per cent. of the men over 30 years of age show unms. takable signs of badness, while nearly 20 per cent, have spots on their heads that are not only bald, but actually pol ishod with the gloss that is supposed to belong to extreme old age alone. haTe been in the majority of the churches aud theatres in all the lalgC eastern cities, as we'll as in Chicago, s.

So, without indulgiHg in any speculations regarding what may be, will contine myself to what Is to be seen.

Official figures of forty-eight of the principal railroads in the United States for the third week of Apri show an increase in the gross earn. ings of 10.64 per cent. as compared with the corresponding week of 1886. These figures, of course, are of little value as showing the effect of the in- terstate commerce act, as an increase in traffic on most of the roads of the country has been noted in nearly every week of the year thus far, when compared with the same time in 1886. However, the expaHaoR in earnings is highly encouraging, irrespective Of any bearing which it may have on the rate-regulating enactment.

All this talk of the newspaper of the future being a very small sheet that can be read at breakfast, with all the news of the world and editorial comment thereon boiled down to compass of 8 few lines, or at most column or two, comes from the small est sheets of the present Chicago Tribune.

 0f course, the enormous and un- manageable blanket sheets of the day wish to have it understood that the newspaper of the future will contain from twenty to a hundred immense pages crowded with advertisements, and little reading matter scattered here and there like pepper on an Ome- lette. Perhaps it may be so; and for the purpose of lighting fires there is an unquestionabie advantage in these immense masses of paper.
